another NLHE Ax hand, noiseboy, 23. Oct 2003 22:09
    View ( Message | Thread )       Return to Thread List
Ok so this one worked out, too, but I'm not sure if my river call was any good considering the str8 was out there. I didn't have the bettor on a str8, although wasn't sure. He seemed like an action oriented player, so I kinda thought he was on the A, so I likely had him trapped. I didn't like the River K AT ALL, but maybe I figured he's raise pre-flop if he had AK. However, from the SB, I'm not so sure. 2 pair in an unraised pot is tough to lay down, or maybe I've been made into a calling station because UB players bluff so damn much. ;)

Anyway, curious on your thoughts, I think I played it poorly, but I have trouble with medium hands.

i know this is easy to say with hindsight, but i would bet the flop with tp/tk, if someone flopped 2 pair or anything else, u will find out shortly. the turn i would raise/checkraise A-7 man, and bet out the river. thats just me though.
everyone limped in and i dont think your up against a set or AK judging by the action. maybe you played it the way you did because of past hands where you got screwed or something. way too passive here i think. you cant really put him ona hand that beats you.

Yeah, I've had some problems with getting busted in unraised pots lately, might've been a little bit gunshy. The problem is that often when several people take a cheap flop, the nuts or close to it are often out.

I'm normally a bit over-aggressive, but I wasn't sure of what was out against me, so I played somewhat wimpy.

Thanks for the feedback!
